Official Sunrise @: 7:46 Photograph Taken @: 7:37
Temperature: 25° Wind: Out of the NE @ 25-35 m.p.h.
Photographer: Ron Day Camera Used: Canon G9
It’s nasty outside this morning, so nasty in fact that I didn’t even bother going out for the sunrise picture, just stuck my Canon G9 against a window in my studio and snapped away.
The wind is howling, sounds cold and ferocious, the sky is dark gray had heavy, and it’s cold. we’re supposed to get more snow, too, according to the predictors. Snow will be good for The Iditarod, the 1,049 mile dogsled race to Nome which starts tomorrow, but I think many of us would just as soon have some sunshine and warmth.
I’ve added a few more blogs to the blog roll on the right. I check each of them every day and often find some interesting reading.

A bright Spot In Our Day: Grandchildren
Yesterday, while Jenny attended a meeting, Becky and I watched our three youngest grandchildren for about an hour. They are always a delight to us when they’re here.
While Dalton and Brylan played with their new toy airplanes, which Grandma bought for them in Washington D.C., Destiny was quite content being held by her grandparents.
Schnitzle had a good time, too, running from one to the other, barking and having fun. He likes his kids and gets very excited when I tell him they are coming to visit. He’ll run to the entry and sit there, looking out of the window in the door, until he sees their truck pull into the driveway. I used to tease him, telling him they were coming when they really weren’t, but I stopped doing that because I felt mean when he’d become excited and run to the door with his tail wagging furiously.

Becky took this picture of Destiny as she was waking up in her carrier moments after Jenny had walked out of the door. She is such a sweet baby, always ready with a smile and very seldom crying. By looking at her it’s hard to believe she was born a few months early.

Brylan found a corner to himself and was quite content for a while, playing with a toy belonging to our cat, Miss Paws, along with a dinosaur and Bart Simpson on a skateboard.

We had to bribe Dalton to get this shot. He was hungry, as he always is, so we told him he could have a corn dog if he’d pose for a picture. Dalton will do about anything for food, including sitting in a chair upside down and making a funny looking grin. Schnitzle is on his way over to check things out, curious as to why his friend is acting so strangely.

Brylan and Dalton with their new toys direct from Washington D.C., exact replicas of Air Force One. As you probably already know, there is always two identical planes in the air whenever the president travels anywhere. I myself wasn’t sure which one of them President Obama was in, but Bart Simpson knew, and was trying to convince him that he should come along as a mediator or something. Of course he was refused and quickly escorted off the runway by the Secret Service.

Dachshund dog Schnitlze stops moving just long enough to have his picture taken. He loves his “kids” and has lots of fun playing and running with them. After they leave he always goes to his bed, crawls under his blankets and crashes for a few hours. Playing with kids is hard work and wears him out.
